Yeah the network architecture is slightly too exciting.  If I add some
more labels it might make more sense as a traditional corporate service:

Laptop -> VPN Server -> Corp Edge -> Prod Edge -> Cluster Edge -> Galene

The VPN is a very traditional road-warrior setup, so knowledge of IPs
isn't a problem, there's already a nice dashboard that shows who's
likely to be on based on tunnel status.

Since reaching all the way back into the corp network to see a client is
not practical in this network topology I'm trying to better understand
where/how to put the TURN server.  Some cursory googling suggests that
its possible to tunnel all this traffic over HTTP.  Is this something
that the built-in TURN server for Galene supports?

In your opinion is this network architecture even practical?  With some
work I could refactor it to look like:

Laptop -> VPN Server -> LB -> Galene

I assume this would make things slightly cleaner from a traffic
management perspective, but that then involves spinning up a dedicated
machine for Galene which is a harder sell in my environment.  If this is
the only practical approach though then that's what I'll explore.
